No serious political party in the US is, at the moment, going to campaign on restoring the draft. However, conservatives ought to be thinking hard about how we can strengthen our military, in particular by greatly expanding the number of people who serve in it, as as full time regulars, or as reservists of one sort or another.
One point: the purpose of the Second Amendment was that the people should be as well armed as the government. In the late 18th Century, this was easy: everyone could own a musket, and cannons were not difficult to forge. Today, things have changed. An AR15 is no match for an A10.
So, what should conservatives do, if they want to keep a potentially-tyranical government in check? Answer: be part of the military themselves. Every able-bodied conservative who has not done military service, and who is eligible, should enlist in the National Guard.
We also need to think about ways to make service in the Guard – or other forms of Reserve duty – less disruptive to people’s lives, and about ways to encourage Universal Military Training in the schools. It would be useful if someone, or a group, could study how other nations handle Reserve membership.

Thanks, Doug .
Trump is strengthening our military, I’m glad to say.
One thing you write I don’t agree with is the idea that military training should be compulsory in the schools. But perhaps you meant it should be voluntary?
Other nations? The only one I can think of which is defending civilization is Israel. Are there others?

OK. Compulsory military service, like Italy. 2 yr minimum.
